[Solved] CD Mount doesn't work, DVD does

So, I am able to mount DVDs but cannot mount CDs.  Evidently, this is problamatic.

Here is my fstab.

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
devpts                 /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
shm                    /dev/shm      tmpfs     nodev,nosuid        0      0

/dev/cdrom             /mnt/cd   auto    ro,user,noatime    0 0
/dev/dvd               /mnt/dvd  auto    ro,user,noatime    0 0
#/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto        0 0

/dev/sda1 /boot     ext2     defaults         0 1
/dev/sda2 swap        swap     defaults         0 0
/dev/sda3 /         ext3     defaults,noatime     0 1
/dev/sda4 /home     ext3     defaults,noatime     0 1

Additionally --

# ls /mnt
cd  dvd

(The directories I'm trying to mount to do exist.  tongue)


This might also be helpful.

# mount -a
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

If I didn't mention something necessary please let me know -- I'm not completely sure what I should post.

Thanks.

Re: [Solved] CD Mount doesn't work, DVD does

*If you're talking 'bout Audio CDs, then you can't normally mount them, since they don't have a filesystem on them.

For Audio CDs, you have these options:
1) Play it directly with your favorite music player. Mplayer and VLC also support CD playback.
2) Rip the Tracks using one of the various rippers. Ex. rubyripper is such a tool based on cdparanoia. It comes with both CLI and GTK2 interfaces. The gui script (/usr/bin/rrip_gui) from the repos contains a typo at line 594, you can just edit it to

if @cd.md.varArtists.empty? ; @varCheckbox.active = false end

3) "Mount" the CD using cddfs, a tool that enables you to mount Audio CDs through FUSE. It's in AUR. Once installed, read /usr/share/doc/cddfs/README for instructions.

Ah, thanks.  It was an audio CD -- didn't realize that.
